I checked out your video and others before starting my first chalk paint project. I learned a lot! Just for anyone else who, like me, is thinking of their first go at this I thought I would advise a few things. First, anyone who is doing these videos has done it before so you won't have the same experience, so don't expect it to be so easy.
I would not use a bristle brush, I started with one and didn't like it. Little bristles got into the paint and it didn't feel natural in my hand. I switched to good quality foam brushes and loved those. Foam rollers would also probably be good for bigger pieces.
I would prime my piece first. Oh man do I wish I had done that it would have saved me so much work. It took four coats of the chalk paint to fully cover the dark wood on my bookcase, and yes I used good quality paint.
Go with the grain or at least stay in a pattern, it will look so much better.
Be prepared to sand a little in between coats because drips will happen and in places you wouldn't expect because of the thickness of the paint.
I liked the final project but again it wasn't as easy as experienced youtubers would have you believe. Bring your patience. Good luck.
@croberts/09 thank you very much for the tips you shared with us. Vi don't t now how many times I followed a video, and just give up on my project because it was far from the UA-camr result. It's all about experience and the real tips.
Do I wax AND put verathane to seal?
I’m definitely going to prime first.
I just waxed and it came out fine.@@annmcintosh4524
When you said you should prime first, what product do you use to prime? Kilz?
I WISH I had primed, I didn’t but I probably would have used kilz because I see other UA-camrs using it.
As a beginner painter it was very informative, thank you so much!

I just really liked yr video.... because it was the best video on UA-cam for me because it was without all the fanfare that 99% of others do.
I also liked how you parched-up all the holes and chipped off wooden corners. This is professional.
You are a confidence booster.

Structurally sound, vintage waterfall furniture like this dresser is becoming rarer and more valuable. I hope you refinished instead of painting :/

Very easy to understand 🤔
Thank you for this complete process..... do you have more using different paints and topcoats?
Hi, I really enjoyed your video. I'm contemplating changing my whole living room look from my dark Tommy Bahama furniture to a more light chalk paint Coastal nautical theme. I was wondering what steps I need to take with this dark furniture before I chalk paint. Looking forward to getting started.
Thank you so much for making this brilliant video tutorial. I had no idea that wax is used to seal in chalk paint, in fact I just painted the inside of the drawers that go in my little bedside tables with pink chalk paint and I was wondering how to seal it, so I'm very glad that I saw your video. Thanks for all the tips as well, like using an old t shirt to apply the wax.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Info. Beautiful project. Have never seen the filler you use in HI for wood. Will check into it. A great filler for flat surfaces is Abatron Wood Epox. A little costly but worth every penny. I use BIN a lot. Great for what you are doing. Bin is the same as your go to clear sealer which you like. If people want a water based primer and they desire a dark finish such as in your video, try grey 123 or grey gripper. Faux Effect has one of the best primers I have ever used for decorative paint jobs called Aqua Bond. Keep posting as you are a great teacher.
Respects
That color is yummy!!!!
I just got a beat up wooden table and I want to paint it. This will be my first time so I came to UA-cam and found your video. Let me same thank you this video is so helpful.
Thank you
Cool
Best video
Just bought a set if old type pine bedroom furniture and want to try and chalk paint it to a light colour. I live in Spain and hopefully I can find the correct paint and primers. Loved your video and your teaching method was easy to understand. I can do this, wish me luck ❤️
Good luck!
Sou do Brasil e seu vídeo foi um dos que mais me ajudou.
Muito obrigada 🙏🏻
You're welcome!
U did a beautiful job. Ik chalk paint chips easy but never thought of wax. So wish me luck on my project
Good luck!
I've had a container of wax for months and haven't been sure how to use it until this. THANK you. I painted the vanity in my camper and thought I made a mistake. It just looks...not the way I wanted.
Good info for beginners... like me!.. :-)...
Kwikwood sets up fast. Never mix the entire tube because it will harden before you can use it. I slice off about 1/4" mix it and fill what I can and then do it again. There is a dark layer over a light center... You want to slice off a piece and work the two colors together completely. If the area is large and deep you can do it in layers and use a bit thicker of a slice. It is a pain to get off of your hands but it won't work with gloves (it sticks to them). Kwikwood is the best wood filler out there! I love it!
Just subscribed
Beautiful colour paint,could you let us know the course you used to mix.Very informative I'm doing my first project.Some great tips.
I really like your videos! I came to this one to find out the color you were using because I love it! My surprise was you mixed the color yourself. 😅
Oh thank you!
Thanks for the lesson, I have a dresser I’m going to paint.
Have fun!
I think I can do this!
Very helpful can you chalk paint laminate?
thank you for this video ... what i was wondering : when and/or why should one use chalkpaint? What are it's qualities or advantages over acryl or alkyd paints?
I was wondering the same thing. I keep coming across chalk paint tutorials, so I figured if I watched an intro-level one it would give me a sense of what's great about it to justify what seems to be quite a few downsides compared to other paints. At this point I can't imagine anything justifying having to wait for weeks for the furniture to be usable, but maybe I'm missing something.
I sand my furniture a bit and add that sanded off wood to the pieces missing. That’s more for staining,it remains the same colour when staining. Little tip if your doing a wood and paint piece.
Hi! Was having trouble with wax looking streaky on chalk paint and Annie Sloan video suggests wiping off the excess then letting it dry overnight before buffing. Do you have good luck buffing right away?
I really like your video. You start right away and get on with the lesson. Wonderful NO music and small talk.
Thank you
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t of known how awesome spray clear shellac is. So I thank you again❤️I use this all the time. Great video?
Oh yay! I love that you’re loving it! Thank you for always leaving the kindest comments! ❤️
Great video. 526,000 views and counting... seems like you weren't late to the game at all 😉❤️
Your go-to get a much smoother finish when using a soft roller and always keep a mister spray bottle of water 💦. It helps your paint to level out smoother when it gets to dry too quickly.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video gave me more information than any other one I have watched before. What profit margarine should you try to get for your furniture? If you don’t mind sharing. But if you don’t want to, I understand. As you can tell I am a real beginner. Thanks again!!!
That all depends on you and your area. Obviously you want to at least get back your cost as well as pay for your time. How much is your time worth? How good is your work? As you get better you can charge more for your work.
Do you have any videos on how to paint multi colors on a coffee table. You know how those are really in style with the turquoise and browns and different colors? Thank you for this video I've been frustrated. Now I know why! I wasn't doing anything right
